NATO or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization aid has been in existence forever since I can remember. As a United States lead protection group against the Soviet Union for those countries who stood with Capitalist ideals and principles. As I remember from the 1960s 1970s into the 1980s course into the fall of the Berlin Wall. NATO still exists today as a defence mechanism to help protect countries like Canada, the United States, Germany, England, and France, I could keep going on about which countries are protected by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. When we look into the press conference you are going to listen to they’re now helping Ukraine stand against the Russian Federation. The Russian Federation, as is described in this press conference is a war of aggression. Well, simply put most wars there’s an aggressor and of course, there’s a defender, sometimes, maybe even to aggressors. By this point, maybe NATO should be a little bit more than a defence organization and a little bit more of an organization to just try to bring peace to the table. That’s where, where the issue is, that according to what we’re going to hear that NATO countries are being asked to set aside 2% of their GDP. Well, in a lot of cases that can be, that’s quite a chunk of money in money that has to be spent on defence so that NATO has access to troops that NATO can enact these troops in order as a defence mechanism. against enemies of the organization itself. We have a course the United Nations that is trying to bring peace and trying to end the war of aggression. between Russia and Ukraine by bringing them to the negotiation table. We’re going to hear statements about that negotiation table also did says that the more territories that Ukraine can hold, going into those negotiations means the better the deal will actually be for NATO. Is NATO at this point trying to continue a war prolong the war wars are they at this point trying to end the war as quickly as possible?  Listen to what was said in the Chancellery in Germany as NATO gives a press conference. Most of us want peace most of us common citizens do want to hear about drone strikes, and bombs being dropped. Attacks on other countries, attacks on cities where dams are, are exploding, and we definitely don’t want it in our own neighbourhood. We want to keep or out of our lives in general because ultimately, the everyday people who are children are the ones that have to go off and fight the war. And we don’t want to see our children coming back in body bags. Nor do we want to see anybody else’s children around the world. Come home to their parents. in a body bag or a pine box. We had to find a way to convince NATO and other organizations that peace and talking is the foremost way to settle our differences. So that we have our children with this bait we get to watch her grandchildren grow and generations to come of human beings just living in peace.Â

From NATO
The two leaders discussed support to Ukraine as it pursues a counteroffensive against Russia’s occupying forces. “The more land the Ukrainians are able to liberate, the stronger their hand will eventually be at the negotiating table,” Mr. Stoltenberg said, adding: “we all want this war to end, but a just peace cannot mean freezing the conflict and accepting a deal dictated by Russia.” He further commended Germany for its leading role in providing military, financial and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and the recent decision to deliver more Patriot missiles. The Secretary General said that Allies would address Ukraine’s membership aspirations at the Vilnius Summit, noting that Allies are working on a multi-year package of assistance for Ukraine, and are working to establish a new NATO-Ukraine Council to jointly consult on security issues of mutual concern.
Secretary General Stoltenberg and Chancellor Scholz also addressed bolstering NATO’s deterrence and defence. “We are now putting in place new regional plans, with assigned forces and capabilities, and high levels of readiness,” the Secretary General said, welcoming that Germany will play a major role in this effort. Mr Stoltenberg also welcomed Germany’s first-ever national security strategy, which confirms strong commitment to NATO, and Berlin’s leadership in establishing a new NATO Maritime Centre for the Security of Critical Undersea Infrastructure. On defence investment, the Secretary General said: “at the NATO Summit in Vilnius, we will agree on a more ambitious defence investment pledge, with 2 percent of GDP as a floor, not a ceiling. I strongly welcome Germany’s historic commitment to reach 2 percent in 2024.”
The Secretary General and the Chancellor also discussed the situation in Kosovo. “NATO’s commitment to our United Nations mandate is unwavering. KFOR will continue to take all necessary measures to ensure a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement for all communities in Kosovo… We call on all parties to stop any further escalatory steps and to return immediately to the dialogue facilitated by the European Union,” said Mr Stoltenberg.
The Secretary General also met  Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, and is taking part in the Federation of German Industries (BDI)’s Day of Industry.
